  They're here for business but it's all none of your jive
  Brighter tomorrows are in their eyes
  You better make way for the young folks
  Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

  They ask you why, and you close the door
  My old friend, I thought you knew by now
  You can't do that to the young folks
  Oh, no no no no

  They're standin' in lines, yeah
  Protestin' your right
  To turn out the light
  In their lives

  Oh, you better make way, you gotta make way,
